EURO Support for NATCOR Bursaries

https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1568/natcor-bursaries

NATCOR (https://www.natcor.ac.uk/), a National Taught Course Centre in
Operational Research, delivers taught courses to PhD students, from across
Europe, on a number of different topics in OR.

EURO is advertising a competition for bursaries for courses run in 2024.

The NATCOR course fees and on-site accommodation (if applicable) will be
funded by EURO for successful candidates. Typically, accommodation for any
residential courses will be four nights bed and breakfast. If additional or
alternative accommodation is required, candidates will need to arrange and
pay for this. Also any extra costs incurred will need to be settled
personally.

Please also be reminded that successful candidates requiring visas will
need to apply for these in good time.

Eligibility

Applicants must be PhD students, from one of the EURO member countries or
studying in one of the EURO member countries(see
https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1457/current-member-societies).

Applicants must have good English Language skills as all NATCOR courses
will be in English.

Preference will be given to students in their first or second years but all
are welcome to apply.

Preference will also be given to applicants who have not previously
received support from EURO for NATCOR or other PhD schools.

Application

To apply for a bursary, candidates from a EURO member society country, or
studying in a EURO member society country, should submit a zip file
containing the application form (available at
https://www.euro-online.org/web/pages/1540/euro-phd-schools-eps), their
curriculum vitae (including their academic track record), a letter
outlining their motivation to attend, and a letter of recommendation from
their supervisor. Applicants should declare on their application if they
are receiving any additional support from their PhD funding body or other
sponsor.

Selection Process

The EURO VP2 selects and ranks (in the case of more than one accepted from
the same country) the candidates.

When accepting the candidates the VP2 should aim at a good distribution of
the participants among the EURO member societies.
